Amazon Web Services (AWS IDEs)| Various roles | Seattle (WFH currently) | Full-time, Onsite | https://aws.amazon.com/developer/tools/

The AWS IDEs team (Cloud9+CloudShell+IDE Plugins) is hiring Software engineers (SDEs) and a Manger (SDM) to help build better tooling for all users of AWS. We are especially looking for early/mid career SDEs, including college hires. We work with a wide range of languages, technologies, and other service teams, and most of our projects are open source.

Speaking personally, as an SDE, I enjoy the wide variety of things I get to work on externally and internally. There's always something new to work on, so I don't get bored working on the same project for an extended period of time.

Our open roles:

SDE1 - https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/1224905/software-dev-enginee...

SDE2 - https://amazon.jobs/en/jobs/1352477/software-development-eng...

SDM - https://amazon.jobs/en/jobs/1381567/software-development-man...

I very much disagree with this. I agree with the top level comment, remote work is not for me. I understand that some people work well with remote work, but for some reason people who like remote work seem to not understand that some people prefer working in the office. I don't think that these kind of things replace an in person environment, and I'm really looking forward to when I can go back into the office.

Google translate worked really well on the article, thanks! That's kind of insane that the school you went to can give you a raise from 30k euro to 40k euro despite having to do the same job.

That sounds interesting, is there an english source to read about that?

Interestingly there is a hostel in Tokyo that uses parts from the Hokutosei trains called train hostel Hokutosei. If you have never spent time in a sleeper train, it's a unique experience, and much quieter.

uh, the post literally has "To measure processor temperature, use the command watch /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp" in it, that doesn't look like windows to me.

I can walk across the street from my apartment in Bellevue and get food, furniture, and groceries but this is the exception even in Bellevue: outside of downtown areas many apartment complexes require getting in a car or bus to get anything.

True, but you can't say that it doesn't have a $450 fee, the amex has $200 for travel expenses and $200 for uber but that doesn't mean it has a $150 fee either. The fee is a large upfront cost for most people.

This is relevant to a decision I made today. I was deciding which travel card to get between the amex platinum and the chase sapphire reserve, and I went with the sapphire reserve. I felt the amex's perks were catered more towards business travelers doing expensive things, while the chase card was more focused on people who travel for fun. However, I do not understand why people think the sapphire reserve is not a snobbish card like amex: it has a $450 a year fee, which is almost as much as the amex platinum's $550 fee, is ~metal~, and is trying to capture the same group of people.

1. The phone line that was losing a ton of money

2. This is being worked on, there is cortana for cars, pc's and phones, so it would make sense for it to expand to even more devices in the future.

3. This is the point of windows 10 cloud, which recently leaked.

4. Windows is really not the cash cow of Microsoft, getting more people into the ecosystem is better for buisiness.

5. Free alternatives have existed forever, alternatives that you could argue are the same or better, recently SQL Server was ported to linux which actually should shore up its market share, and even possibly increase it.

6. True but does this actually matter that much?

I'm in the same boat. I got sick of chrome's annoying scaling problems and switched back to firefox after many years. I like that firefox actually gives you a choice about everything, unlike chrome (flash will never touch my system ever again). Additionally, nightly is smoother than chrome for me. Once the nightly improvements hit stable, I'm going to start recommending Firefox to my non tech savy family members again.

I don't know who is behind this, I just saw it on /r/DataHoarder

In torrent form: http://climatetorrent.com/ Torrents are a great way of maintaining data integrity and allowing future sharing easily.

I know this is a joke but you really couldn't, traction (friction) plays a huge role in 0-60 times and something so light would not have that much traction.

Sunset it? It's literally now named visual studio for Mac. https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-mac/

You are taking that quote way out of context the next part of the sentence "but then he never made an effort to improve his grades" is the relevant part. They dislike him because he didn't try to improve not because he was good at picking up information.

Probably supposed to be Heisencompiler as a play on Heisenberg's uncertainty principal.

Although interesting that Google's turnover rate is close to Amazon's, one year turnover is horrible. Other large tech companies (like Microsoft and Apple) have much lower turnover rates.

Even worse when you can't get your package because they give no delivery window and attempt to deliver it to you during class, make you pick it up somewhere, then say it's your fault for not being at home 24/7.

Wow that is awful, I understand why they thought it was a good idea but hopefully this incident will change their mind.

Can't you just delete /usr/bin/git and symlink /usr/local/bin/git to it?

So obviously it's impossible to write a linux app in anything pure but C because the kernel is written in C. That makes no sense.

Yes because scalpers buy as many tickets at one time as they can, lowering your chances of getting tickets even if you are up at 5am trying to buy them. “Brokers snatch up at least 50%, if not more, of these tickets,” says Josh Baron from: https://www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/6-reasons-why-its-so-hard-...

Scalpers provide this value from buying up many more tickets than an individual would, and individuals who cannot go will still sell their tickets, which is usually for a more reasonable price since they want to get rid of them.

Although I usually hate non transferable tickets this would definitely solve the scalping problem. I'd much rather this than have people throw their money at middlemen who add no additional value.

I know code camps are usually web focused, but I'm really surprised about the lack of any lower level, desktop, or non web back end options for "which roll are you most interested in". Coming from a CS background I was also surprised that more people were interested in front end web development than back end web development, because most of the people I interact with hate front end web development with a passion.

This reminds me of a Planet Money episode (a great podcast). http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/07/29/427467598/episo... . In it, they talk about people not wanting to ride elevators not controlled by a human operator, and how companies got people to ride them. In the same way as elevators, people will eventually adapt to self driving cars even if the industry needs something like a manual mode for emergencies or a big red button.
